PyJWT is a Python implementation of JSON Web Token standards.
CVE-2026-102267
Summary PyJWT 2.13.0 PyJWKClient followed HTTP redirects while fetching a JWKS, without validating the redirect destination. A configured trusted endpoint could therefore redirect the client to a different host. Impact When an application uses PyJWKClient with caller-supplied request headers and an attacker can influence the configured endpoint's response, the redirected request could expose those headers and the redirected response could be used as authoritative key material. This could cause JWKS trust poisoning and, in affected mixed-configuration applications, forged JWT acceptance. The issue requires an attacker-influenced redirect from the configured JWKS endpoint; it is not triggered by a token kid alone. Affected versions PyJWT <= 2.13.0. Fix The issue is fixed on master in commit [0a795b8e1f6ef08f634aa7086fc41cc6d5ce3e56](https://github.com/jpadilla/pyjwt/commit/0a795b8e1f6ef08f634aa7086fc41cc6d5ce3e56). PyJWKClient now disables automatic redirects for JWKS fetches. Regression tests verify that a redirect is rejected without contacting its destination, while normal fetches, headers, caching, errors, timeouts, and SSL context remain covered. The fix is present in the…
